Officers investigating a reported suspicious incident in Poole are appealing for information and for a motorist involved to come forward.
Dorset Police received a report that at around 10.30pm on Saturday 20 May 2023 a third party witnessed a man in a white Vauxhall Combo van with blue flashing lights stop a motorist in the area of Springdale Road.
The man reportedly presented himself as a police officer or special constable before letting the vehicle carry on its journey.
